Greenspan Urges Cuts to Social Security to Rein In Deficit
Greenspan Urges Cuts to Social Security to Rein In Deficit
Not let me get this right. Greenspan, not exactly what one would call a "left leaning, up-against-the-wall, man of the people", said to Congress that Bush's plan to "grow ourselves" out of his, and now our, feder deficit, just will not wash. More to the point, he wants millions of boomer folks like me, or in Buckey's phrase, "PLUs" as in "People Like Us" to have their Social Security benefits experience a "trimming" (nice word, that) to help keep the Feds out of a complete economic melt down.
Thanks Alan. Just what us working stiffs needed to hear. Instead of hitting up the rich now, let's hit up the poor and middle class later.
Now what does old George think of this? No doubt, like everything else, he's got a plan and we just have to wait.
